Power of Two
MYMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyones gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk Ive packed
A cooler and a 2-day suitcase
Cause theres a place we like to drive
Way out in the country
Five miles out of the city limit were singing
And your hands upon my knee
So were okay
Were fine
Baby Im here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats true
Multiply life by the power of two
You know the things that I am afraid of
Im not afraid to tell
And if we ever leave a legacy
Its that we loved each other well
Cause Ive seen the shadows of so many people
Trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that fancy and fast
Ends in a fatal crash
And Im glad we got off
To tell you the truth
Cause were okay
Were fine
Baby Im here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats true
Multiply life by the power of two
All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
(make new friends)
Something new instead of something old
(but keep the old)
All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
(but remember what is gold)
And its fools gold
(what is gold)
Fools gold
(what is gold)
Fools gold
Now were talking about a difficult thing
And your eyes are getting wet
I took us for better and I took us for worse
Dont you ever forget it
Now the steel bars between me and a promise
Suddenly bend with ease
The closer Im bound in love to you
The closer I am to free
So were okay
Were fine
Baby Im here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats true
Multiply life by the power of two
The lyrics to MYMP's song Power of Two is a beautiful ode to the power of love and faith in relationships. The song starts with the parking lot being empty and the singer picking up their partner for a drive in the countryside. They drive five miles out of town, and the partner's hands are on their knee as they sing together. The singer reveals that they are there for their partner no matter what, to chase away their fears and doubts, and to love them unconditionally. They talk about how easy it is to be swept away by the temptations of life, and we should not forget what's truly worth keeping.
The heart of the song, however, lies in the belief that true love adds up to more than the sum of its parts. The sum of life can be multiplied by the power of two when two people come together in love. The song acknowledges the challenges of a relationship, but the love between two people is stronger than anything that comes their way. The steel bars that separate the singer from their promise bend with ease when bound in love. The song is beautiful and uplifting and reinforces the idea that love is enduring and can conquer anything.

Now the parking lot is empty
It's just us left in the parking lot
Everyones gone someplace
Everyone has left to go somewhere else
I pick you up and in the trunk Ive packed
I got you in the car and packed our things in the trunk
A cooler and a 2-day suitcase
I brought a cooler for food and drinks and a suitcase with clothes for two days
Cause theres a place we like to drive
We have a favorite place to drive to
Way out in the country
It's in a rural location
Five miles out of the city limit were singing
We start singing when we drive five miles out of the city
And your hands upon my knee
Your hand is resting on my knee
So were okay
We're doing fine
Were fine
We're doing well
Baby Im here to stop your crying
I'm here to comfort you and make you stop crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'll help you forget the things that haunt you
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
I'm stronger than your fears and insecurities
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
I can help you see through deception and dishonesty
Well look at them together then well take them apart
We'll examine these issues together and then dismantle them
Adding up the total of a love thats true
Our genuine love amounts to so much
Multiply life by the power of two
Our love enhances and multiplies our experiences in life
You know the things that I am afraid of
You know what scares me
Im not afraid to tell
I'm comfortable sharing my fears with you
And if we ever leave a legacy
And if we leave behind something to be remembered by
Its that we loved each other well
It's that we loved each other deeply and wholeheartedly
Cause Ive seen the shadows of so many people
I've witnessed many people's struggles
Trying on the treasures of youth
Chasing after the trappings of youth
But a road that fancy and fast
But a life that is luxurious and hurried
Ends in a fatal crash
Will ultimately lead to disaster
And Im glad we got off
I'm glad we chose a different path
To tell you the truth
Honestly speaking
All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
All the tempting but superficial and fleeting things
(make new friends)
(such as making new friends)
Something new instead of something old
Choosing novelty over tradition
(but keep the old)
(but still valuing what is familiar)
All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
All you need to do is dig deeper
(but remember what is gold)
(but remember what is truly valuable)
And its fools gold
And it's not worth pursuing
(what is gold)
(what is truly valuable)
Fools gold
Foolish things mistaken for treasure
Now were talking about a difficult thing
We're discussing a challenging topic
And your eyes are getting wet
You're getting emotional
I took us for better and I took us for worse
I committed to being with you in the good and bad times
Dont you ever forget it
Remember that always
Now the steel bars between me and a promise
The obstacles standing between me and my commitment
Suddenly bend with ease
Easily give way
The closer Im bound in love to you
As I become more deeply connected to you in love
The closer I am to free
The freer I feel
